WPC100M

Wraparound Girth Weld Sleeve

WPC100M is a two-layer coating system for pipeline operating at ambient and elevated temperature.

WPC100M field-joint coating. Construction: Two-layer system: First layer: Visco-elastic adhesives sealant. Second layer: Radiation cross-linked, high density polyethylene WPC100M is a wraparound heat-shrinkable sleeve specially suitable for higher stress conditions caused both by elevated temperatures and by soils with severe contraction between wet-dry cycles. The WPC100M is compatible with most commonly used steel pipe sections and large radius bends. WPC100M may be cut to the appropiate length to cover all pipe diameters. The installation is carried out directly on the cleaned and pre-heated surface without any primer required. During installation, the heat-shrinkable sleeve is wrapped around and shrunk to form a tight fit around the joint. During recovery, the adhesive softens and flows to form a perfect bond with the pipe surface providing protection against corrosion. The radiation cross-linked outer layer forms a tough barrier against mechanical damage and moisture transmission.
